Kevin: What current NBA player(s) would you compare yourself to?

SportsNation Mouhamed Sene: (9:18 PM ET ) Myself. But I like Kevin Garnett. I watch him a lot.


Tim (OR): What is the most intriguing and exciting aspect of becoming an NBA player?

SportsNation Mouhamed Sene: (9:20 PM ET ) I've always wished to be an NBA player. I liked the Showtime Lakers and I like the faster, more athletic game. That's my game. I only started to play ball four years ago and all my friends in Senegal were talking about the NBA.


Jake Lipp (OH): Do you think you can make an impact in the NBA right away?

SportsNation Mouhamed Sene: (9:22 PM ET ) Yes. That's what my dream is. To come and give everything I can to the Sonics as a defender who can block shots, run the floor and run the floor. I will work on everthing and improve from day to day.
